Description
The Tactical Solutions X-Ring VR Gen2 Takedown Receiver is the foundation a lot of serious .22 builds start with. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and hard anodized in matte black, it keeps weight down while giving you a tough, precise platform designed specifically for Ruger 10/22 Takedown and TacSol X-Ring semi-auto rimfire rifles. The complete assembly tips the scale at right around 17.5 ounces, which is part of why folks reach for it when building out a packable takedown setup.
What Sets the X-Ring VR Gen2 Apart
The milled-in 15 MOA Picatinny rail is a standout. It's cut directly into the receiver, so there's no separate base to work loose, and it gives you plenty of elevation for reaching out with a rimfire optic while still leaving open sights usable. The enlarged ejection port has beveled contours that help toss empties cleanly and cut down on stovepipes, and the updated side pocketing gives it a sharper, more modern look than the stock Ruger unit.
Ambidextrous Controls and Easy Upkeep
This one plays nice no matter which hand runs the gun. The stainless charging handle is interchangeable for left or right-side use, with long and short handle options through the Modular Bolt Handle System, and a dust cover keeps the unused charging window sealed off. A through-the-back cleaning port lets you run a rod straight through for maintenance without pulling the barrel, which is a genuinely handy feature on a takedown gun.
Smooth Cycling Under the Hood
The proprietary stainless steel bolt uses a dual symmetrical recoil spring and guide rod setup along with a lightweight "wasp" firing pin, and top flutes help shed fouling. A polymer bolt buffer quiets things down and takes the metal-on-metal beating off the receiver pin. It feeds from standard 10-round rotary magazines, so you're not locked into anything proprietary. Keep in mind this is a takedown-specific receiver, so it's built to work with Ruger 10/22 Takedown and TacSol X-Ring takedown barrels rather than fixed-barrel setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles does the X-Ring VR Gen2 Takedown receiver fit?
It's designed for Ruger 10/22 Takedown and TacSol X-Ring takedown-style .22 LR rifles. Because it's a takedown-specific receiver, it works with takedown barrels rather than fixed-barrel 10/22 setups. It uses the standard 10/22 trigger group and standard 10-round rotary magazines, so those parts carry right over.
Does the receiver come with an optics rail, or do I need to add one?
The 15 MOA Picatinny rail is milled directly into the receiver, so there's nothing extra to buy or install. That integrated design means no base to work loose, and the 15 MOA of built-in rise gives you room to dial in a rimfire optic at distance. Open sights remain usable with the rail in place.
Is the X-Ring VR Gen2 receiver set up for left-handed use?
Yes, it's built to run either hand. The stainless charging handle is interchangeable for left or right-side mounting, with long and short handle options, and a dust cover seals off whichever charging window you aren't using.
How do you clean this receiver without taking the barrel off?
There's a cleaning port machined through the rear of the receiver that lets you run a cleaning rod straight through the bore from the back. That means no barrel removal for routine maintenance, which is especially convenient on a takedown rifle you're breaking down often.
